Tools: ARFCN - Frequency Conversion for 5G NR/LTE/UMTS/GSM

7.6E.1 General

The blocking characteristic is a measure of the receiver’s ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned channel frequency in the presence of an unwanted interferer on frequencies other than those of the spurious response or the adjacent channels, without this unwanted input signal causing a degradation of the performance of the receiver beyond a specified limit. The blocking performance shall apply at all frequencies except those at which a spurious response occurs.

7.6E.2 In-band blocking

7.6E.2.1 General

When UE is configured for NR V2X reception non-concurrent with NR uplink transmissions for NR V2X operating bands specified in Table 5.2E.1-1, the throughput of the wanted signal shall be ≥ 95 % of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annex A.7.2 with parameters specified in Table 7.6E.2.1-1 and Table 7.6E.2.1-2. The relative throughput requirement shall be met for any SCS specified for the channel bandwidth of the wanted signal.

	F_interferer	MHz	NOTE 2	F_{DL_low} – 30 to F_{DL_high} + 30
NOTE 1: For certain bands, the unwanted modulated interfering signal may not fall inside the UE receive band, but within the first 15 MHz below or above the UE receive band. NOTE 2: For each carrier frequency the requirement is valid for two frequencies: a. the carrier frequency -BW/2 – F_{Ioffset, case 1}and b. the carrier frequency +BW/2 + F_{Ioffset, case 1} NOTE 3: F_Interferer range values for unwanted modulated interfering signal are interferer center frequencies NOTE 4: The absolute value of the interferer offset F_interferer (offset) shall be further adjusted to MHz with SCS the sub-carrier spacing of the wanted signal in MHz. The interferer is an NR signal with 15 kHz SCS.

7.6E.2.2 In-band blocking for V2X con-current operation

For the inter-band con-current NR V2X operation, the requirements specified in clause 7.6E.2.1 shall apply for the NR sidelink reception in the operating Bands in Table 5.2E.1-1 and the requirements specified in clause 7.6.2 shall apply for the NR downlink reception in licensed band while all downlink carriers are active.

7.6E.3 Out-of-band blocking

7.6E.3.1 General

For NR V2X bands out-of-band band blocking is defined for an unwanted CW interfering signal falling outside a frequency range 30 MHz below or above the UE receive band. When UE is configured for NR V2X reception non-concurrent with NR uplink transmissions for NR V2X operating bands specified in Table 5.2E.1-1, the throughput of the wanted signal shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channels as specified in Annexes A.7.2 with parameters specified in Table 7.6E.3.1-1 and Table 7.6E.3.1-2. The relative throughput requirement shall be met for any SCS specified for the channel bandwidth of the wanted signal.
